When both a device and a driver have been registered, then the probe routine will be called.

Normally, the devices are registered in your board files.

The order is determined by how they're registered (i.e. which initcall is used:
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.7.6/include/linux/init.h#L209

module_init maps to device_initcall

Within the same level, the order is determined by the order that the files appear in the Makefiles.
